G2532–καί–kai

Finally then, brothers, we beg and exhort you in the Lord Jesus, that as you received from us how you ought to walk and to please God, that you abound more and more.

καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “also”

that each one of you know how to possess himself of his own vessel in sanctification and honor,

καὶ kai “and”

not in the passion of lust, even as the Gentiles who don't know God;

καὶ kai “also”

that no one should take advantage of and wrong a brother or sister in this matter; because the Lord is an avenger in all these things, as also we forewarned you and testified.

καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “also”καὶ kai “and”

Therefore he who rejects doesn't reject man, but God, who has also given his Holy Spirit to you.

καὶ kai “also”

for indeed you do it toward all the brothers who are in all Macedonia. But we exhort you, brothers, that you abound more and more;

καὶ kai “And”

and that you make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, even as we charged you;

καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “and”

that you may walk properly toward those who are outside, and may have need of nothing.

καὶ kai “and”

But we don't want you to be ignorant, brothers, concerning those who have fallen asleep, so that you don't grieve like the rest, who have no hope.

καὶ kai “also”

For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so those who have fallen asleep in Jesus will God bring with him.

καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “also”

For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with God's trumpet. The dead in Christ will rise first,

καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “and”

then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air. So we will be with the Lord forever.

καὶ kai “and”

But concerning the times and the seasons, brothers, you have no need that anything be written to you.

καὶ kai “and”

For when they are saying, "Peace and safety," then sudden destruction will come on them, like birth pains on a pregnant woman; and they will in no way escape.

καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “and”

You are all children of light, and children of the day. We don't belong to the night, nor to darkness,

καὶ kai “and”

so then let's not sleep, as the rest do, but let's watch and be sober.

καὶ kai “also”καὶ kai “and”

For those who sleep, sleep in the night, and those who are drunken are drunken in the night.

καὶ kai “and”

But let us, since we belong to the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and, for a helmet, the hope of salvation.

καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “and”

Therefore exhort one another, and build each other up, even as you also do.

καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “also”

But we beg you, brothers, to know those who labor among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you,

καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “and”

and to respect and honor them in love for their work's sake. Be at peace among yourselves.

καὶ kai “and”

See that no one returns evil for evil to anyone, but always follow after that which is good, for one another, and for all.

καὶ kai “also”καὶ kai “and”

May the God of peace himself sanctify you completely. May your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “and”

Faithful is he who calls you, who will also do it.

καὶ kai “also”

Brothers, pray for us.

καὶ kai “also”
